This was a great show, wish I recorded it all at the time, the 'best of' DVDs are not good enough

Loved David Gower on it

    It was much funnier than A Question Of Sport that's for sure!

    Loved David Gower on it

    He was the one with the 'white acrylic wig' wasn't he? Yes - I loved this show too. I really liked Lee Hurst on it (getting a mini-sample as he's on TWS right now).

    Hurst was hilarious. Things weren't quite as good without him

    I loved LDM, really attractive, not just for the two obvious reasons

    I think she was pretty then in her late teens. I was a teen myself at the time...how lucky were we.

    I have this episode complete somewhere, it was an xmas special, around 97 I reckon

    QOS was meant to be a bit more of a quiz show, were as TTIAO was more focused on comedy.

    Yeah, but when TTIAO came along, QOS tried going in a more comedic direction, drafting in McCoist and Parrott as captains to add laughs and compete with TTIAO a bit, but they couldn't compare to a post watershed show.

    They should show some of these on Dave as they still stand up well. Was watching the Best of the other week and it's side-splittingly funny, especially stuff like the Musical Chairs they did

    The episode with Chris Eubank is crazy! Gower plainly couldn't stand the man.

    I have a few early episodes complete but would love them all

    Personally I think TTIAO is light years ahead of ALOTO in every way. I don't despise the latter, but its a poor substitute for me.

    Didn't Lee leave after someone died at one of his stand up shows ?

    Or was it for a different reason ?

    Hadn't heard that, I thought it was due to a chronic back complaint

    That would make sense I suppose. I do remember someone dying at one of his shows though - I think the guy had a heart attack while he was watching him.

    I remember Ian Wright being a team captain. He was a miserable sod, as soon as anyone took the piss out of someone he would jump in being all defensive! It's banter you idiot!

    I also remember Jonathan Ross because he didnt know a great deal about sport, a bit like me.

    As much as I like Lee Mack, it went downhill when he took over from Nick Hancock.

    I seem to remember the early shows were quite good, before Ally McCoist got involved, "took over" and ruined it. So I stopped watching.

    Mack only did the one (last)series, didn't he?

    Your talking about QOS of course? Not TTIAO?

    Although I thought that was the best period for QoS maybe in hindsight it was the downfall of the show considering what it's become nowadays.
